A SYMBOL OF NEOPLASTICISM
Gerrit T. Rietveld came up with the design for the Utrecht chair in 1935 while working at the Metz & Co. department store in Amsterdam, where his task was to make a chair for mass production. The consideration of market needs and the privileging of a comfortable and relaxing experience led to the treatment of the elements of the chair as separate units.
As a result, the chair became an icon of both the Neoplastic movement and Rietveld’s experimental vision. The chair is also available in fabric or leather, with blanket or zig-zag topstitching; in both cases five colors are available.
